The Bigger Picture: Trump was helping Putin in Ukraine

We should not forget that Trump remains Putin's Puppet.

Putin has troops and tanks in the eastern provinces of Ukraine as we speak. Do not be surprised if Putin moves to take over the entire area while we discuss impeachment.

Trump has been doing all he can do to give Putin's troops time to consolidate their gains. Not only did he decide to hold up funds for the Ukrainians to defend themselves, he also said he was going to hold up the funds until the countries in Europe donated more.

This was all done to benefit Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump is still working for the interests of Russia, for whatever reason?

Chump was told by Putin that no US aid goes to Ukraine. Pootie wants to keep Ukraine as weak and defenseless as possible. He's been against US aid to Ukraine since BEFORE the 2016 election.

Chump has his own angle to play, he's afraid of running against Joe Biden. So he says he's holding back the US aid to try and get some dirt on Biden if he can. But even if he ever got anything, he still wouldn't have released the funds for Ukraine. It's never going to happen as long as Pootie says "No."

Will they understand that in Dumbfuckistan? I don't know - but it is the truth.

This is at least as much about Putin's interests in Ukraine as about Joe Biden and the 2020 election.

and Putin does a full-scale invasion of the Ukraine, Trump will sit on his hands and say he doesn't want to get involved in a war in Asia and sells himself as the anti-war president
